MG Sports Cars

Only thing I see is Pontiac and Oldsmobile.

edit: that was on a search for 455 valve covers. Searching Buick valve covers I found one set of 400 tin covers for $99. Before I'd buy those I'd go for the new aluminum ones.

There were a lot more than that. :)

Like this?

Yes....or these:

I never cared for those stamped steel covers that are prone to leak. I was thinking something along these lines (for a Buick, though).

At this point I really don't care anymore. My own personal preference would be aluminum but that's $140 + for new. If anyone runs across a set of used ones that'd be dandy. Tin works, chrome works, we just need something that will let us run 'er up. Rick, you made a comment in regards to the chromed ones, but I'm a little dense sometimes. What were you saying?

Jim

Great news everyone! Rick has a set of chromed valve covers for us. Now could somebody else get us a set of the spreader bars that go under the hold down bolts?

Jim

More good news! Jeff Schlemmer (Advanced Distributors [www.advanceddistributors.com] ) has finished up the ignition system and shipped it, so it should be here in time for the weekend. Rick is going to try to ship the valve covers tomorrow so they should be here also. Steve is bringing the radiator.

So, depending on how fast we decide to work there is an outside chance that we may be able to start the engine. Sorry to say the shorter HTOB won't be here for a couple more weeks so test driving it isn't an option, aside from the fact that we don't have a radiator fan yet, but it would be great to hear the engine run.

Looks like we'll have a pretty good crowd. In addition to Steve, Max, Carl and of course me, Dan B might make it also. Looks like the downstairs bathroom is going to go online just in time!

Be sure to take video in case it does get started up!

We are going to crank it. I will/would be in the driver's seat, but I plan to defer to Jim since it's his brainchild.

Plus, I just got home from a Peter Frampton concert & I gotta get up in 5 hours & drive 5 more hours to get to Gunpowder Road, Florence, KY.

We need an update!

OK Rick, you asked for it! ....here's an update of Frampton

Thanks, Graham!

And now from his new album, "BADASS Comes Alive!"....

"Waaaaa...wa-wa-wa-wa-waaaa...wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-Waaaaaa...

I wonder how it's running.....there's ringing in my ears....."

Fantastic!

Good stuff gents.....great job!

Looks like your choice of radiator worked fine. Did you find a fan yet? If not give me dims and i'll scrounge around.

Congratulations guys, a great job done.

Was expecting it to be a lot louder!

Kevin.

Great job guys, another milestone! I wonder if Peter Frampton knows he is involved in this project? LOL
